Ps I agree that BOI share a large part of the blame for this and it would be good to demonstrate this to them
why not Vodafone and bear in mind baggy has already alluded they they were worse than BoI..
Cockers, have you lost your mind? Are you a secret IRFU 5th columnist? Or do you work for BT?

I most certainly didn't say Vodaphone were worse than anybody and I have repeatedly said that BANK OF IRELAND pulled the trigger and made their fate sealed by threats to withdraw sponsorship. I do not know what KINGSPAN, VODAPHONE, BT or any other sponsor said, I do know from an unimpeachable sauce that the players were told that it was BANK OF IRELAND's intervention, made before they made their statement that sealed their fate.

I have no wish to excuse any threats from any sponsors, I simply want to clarify that nobody but BANK OF IRELAND have certain blame in my knowledge. They do the hypocritical shysters, who are still attempting to rob their customers as the mortgage base rate scandal demonstrates, €170 Million worth of illegal charges excised from their financial figures in the last annual accounts. No lessons learned from the financial crash, still the same avaricious mentality, no hint that what is good for their customers will profit the bank, just a hard "strip their cash at all opportunities" approach, employing cut & burn executives who slash services take their bonus and move on. Warren Gatland.


Now, is that clear?

BANK OF IRELAND SACKED JACKSON & OLDING. Others may have played a part.
baggy please accept my apology and don't sue for defamation... it must have been AN Other

How does the BOIs conduct meet IRFU core values? Can someone setup a petition to that effect? Aim it at all the provinces.

Oh and the comments , wel, you can rest assure DUBLIN ignored this
Wow at the comments!

Not because they're off the mark, but because I'd bet exactly the same people had a completely different view this time around because they'd been told what to think by the newspapers.

Was there even one person who said getting hammered and spit-roasting a girl is unbecoming of a role model?

And in that case the girl wasn't anonymous and it had a serious outcome for her, unlike this one.

Double standards and hypocrisy of the highest order. Nothing to do with their province obviously.

Everyone knows that decision in this case was purely financial and bugger all to do with morals. Wouldn't it be mildly amusing if the BoI were looking for a way out of their sponsorship agreement and expected the IRFU to actually back their players so they could pull out. The sad thing is it seems that the IRFU and the sponsors were just playing chess with two young fellas lives.

It has been mentioned elsewhere that B of I have been trying to decrease their sponsorship portfolio recently and cited the examples of Shane Lowry, Katie Taylor and Heaslip (before retirement). The article on Thursday mentioned their sponsorship with Ulster ends in 2019, so we could be in a situation where a decision has been made based on keeping a sponsor for one additional year.
